The best part...

We got up super early on Saturday morning of our mini-vacation to go cheer on a friend.
She was running in the Salt Lake City Marathon.
She's my hero.

Here's Em and Jeremy with their sign. Emmy was screaming "Go Brooklyn" so LOUD!

We met our friend Amy at the race.
She made a cool sign.
Amy, you "roc"

Emmy with Brooklyn.
Emmy just pointed to the picture and said "That's my best friend."
We love ya Brooklyn! Great job!

A Festival of Tulips!

We went to the Tulip Festival yesterday with friends.
4 mommies.
2 babies.
2 toddlers.
5000 tulips.
it all equals
A lot of fun!

Don't let the scowl fool you - she loves having her picture taken. She was probably just bitter that I was in the photo with her.

Splish Splash!

My friend Amy has an adorable baby girl. Emmy adores her. Possibly a little too much. Not sure who is more patient with Emmy - the baby or her mother.

What good is a hill if you can't roll down it?

Stop and smell the...tulips?

Run Forrest Run!

Emmy with her friend.

Can you hear her going "Cheeeeeeeeeeese!"
